The original intention was to license it so it could be ported anywhere, I 
believe. I.e., it's the first DRM where the maker thought they had the clout 
to get universal adoption. It *is* pretty widespread. I.e., you don't have 
to wonder if it has the right kind of DRM for your platform.

Now, the irony is they dropped support for it in their own products. ;-)
